Every Thursday we have Sally’s Music Circle, a music class that Max and I have attended since he was 6 months old. He loves it and I love it too. I have watched Max changes so much. He learns so much from the other boys in his class. I remember when he was in the baby circle and he was one of the oldest and in the winter semester he was one of the youngest. He has watched the other older boys and when I say older, I mean only 2 to 4 months older, and he has learned how to take his first steps, run, drink out of s sippee cup and so on. He has learned to be more social and outgoing. Every time we would come home from class he tries something new after watching the other boys. But today was different. This spring semester he is in the middle. There are younger kids than he is and so today he made my heart melt. He was eating a Oatio *(similar to a Cherrio) but it has no wheat, only oats) and he we were sitting next to a mom and her 9 month old boy named Ezra. Max leaned over and gave Ezra an Oatio and then he tried to take his hand and help him get up to play with him. Then when that did not work he patted his head and hugged his little body. It made my heart melt. I felt like the best mom in the world because I am helping to shape and tough rugged little boy who has the capacity to hug and love. On the flip side, Max was also getting hit by one of the boys who is a little aggressive in my opinion and he just looked at him and rubbed his head. He did not hit back and well that made me feel great too. I then explained to him that when people cause boo boos and hurts to other people it makes people sad. I think he got it and also there was a part of me that feels like Max was telling me that anyway. I am lucky to have such a warm little boy.Max: When you read this one day..I just want to say I LOVE YOU AND THNAK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE YOUR MOM. YOU ARE GOING TO BE A GREAT BROTHER ONE DAY!! XO
